Advances in Spinal Stabilization

Book Foreword:

Spinal stabilization has changed dramatically over the last 10 years and the
pace of change continues to accelerate. This volume is an excellent mirror of
the evolution of spinal stabilization – from the nuts, rods, and bolts first used
years ago to the current applications of bilateral fusion using bone morphogenetic
protein and gene manipulation or sophisticated bone extenders. Further
possibilities for stabilizing the spine, as reflected in this book, include
absorbable stabilization devices.
Through the combination of technical advances in minimally invasive
spine surgery and neuronavigation, spinal surgery will become less destructive,
less painful, and more successful. Most importantly, patient outcomes will
improve. The section on instrumentation and technique represents the most
up-to-date advances in surgical technique and management of spinal disorders.
The authors have provided a valuable service by compiling the most recent
advances in spinal stabilization. This volume is a welcome addition to the personal
libraries of spinal surgeons and to institutional libraries.
